Super Vague 12”

The 12” features four tracks, clocking in at 12 minutes, cut LOUD at 45 and mastered to blow out the Best Buy floor-model speakers you just installed in your Civic.

Pale Seas (formally Netherlands) are releasing their debut single ‘Something Or Nothing’ on 5th March 2012, through Fear & Records.

Listen:

Now based in London, Pale Seas started their musical journey in their hometown of Southampton. Pale Seas are a four-piece who conjure up warm, rich, acoustic led dream-folk songs, evoking a sound somewhere between Beach House and Elliot Smith.

Fronted by the charismatic songwriter Jacob Scott, Netherlands’ core members include guitarist Graham Poole, Matthew Bishop on bass and Zealah Izabella Anstey on percussion and backing vocals. The extended family includes studio members Ben Clark on Viola, Peter Scott on violin and American guitarist Garret Ney.

The lo-fi bedroom demos first recorded by Jacob have been reinvigorated after the band stepped into the studio with esteemed producer duo Jimmy Robertson and Demian Castellanos, who between them have worked on debuts for Florence & The Machine, Anna Calvi, The Big Pink and Tribes.

If you pre-order the 7” before March 5, you will receive the MP3s of both tracks immediately. You will also be guaranteed free entry to the band’s single launch, which is being held at the Sebright Arms, London on Monday March 12.

Milk Music are an exciting, loud, hairy group of Hüsker Dü-meets-Dinosaur Jr noiseniks from Olympia, WA.

We are excited to be distributing their debut record, the Beyond Living 12” vinyl, in the UK (released via Perennial Death in the US).

“Beyond Living is now pretty much one of my songs of the year. In a sea of bands obsessed with shoegaze and trying to hide themselves a’la WU LYF, this is nothing short of refreshing.”
Matt Wilkinson, NME

Fear of Men are a beautiful collection of swilly guitars and lush vocals. They also have a great name.

The band, who come from equal parts Brighton and New Cross, released a four track tape through Sex is Disgusting, which sold out in days, and are heading into the studio at the end of the month to prep future releases.

They will also be supporting Mazes at their Sexbeat-promoted album launch party (with Let’s Wrestle) on April 14th at the Victoria in Dalston.

Entrepreneurs is former entomologist Adam M Crisp. The double A-side single Fuck Tactics / Bubblegunk is his latest version of insect influenced, piss-ridden pop music.

Fuck Tactics features pop grrl of the moment Foe and Ghostpoet.

The digital single is available now via iTunes and the physical, post-apocalyptic-survival-kit-in-a-box is out on April 4.

Dysneyland are a raging three piece gang of indie noise rockers. They contain former members of Leicester’s Tired Irie and have, unfortunately, been forced to change their Walt Disney daring name (ahead of their forthcoming Too Pure 7”).

They will now be known as Sisterland thus making their debut single - Walking Wounded b/w Shadow of a Doubt - even more exclusive.

You can buy the physical, handmade compact disc @ here.

Jess Bryant has an incredibly beautiful, almost operatic, voice, coupled with Beach House-esque sensibilities. Have a listen to Molten, which is one of the standout tracks on her debut album Silvern, that will be released later this spring.

Masks were one of the most exciting bands we discovered last year and released the beautiful Forever Dancing record. They return with a new track - 7 of 9 - that will be released as part of their forthcoming mini-album, which will be released later this year.

We are very excited to be releasing the debut release from Dysneyland.

• Walking Wounded b/w Shadow of a Doubt (Sonic Youth).

Dysneyland are a three piece from Leicester.

They sound like Health-meets-Incesticide-era-Nirvana and this is their debut single.

Physical CDs with special packaging will be out on January 24 2011 (as well as iTunes) but anyone who pre-orders the physical package will receive the two tracks immediately.

You can buy @ Big Cartel or download the digital tracks @ Bandcamp.
